﻿Synopsis by the author/publisherThe Zills family is off to Paris to see the sights and take a class at the International Pastry Academy! In class, Matt and Bibi have to measure liquids to make lollipops. It's hard work, but knowing about different liquid measurements comes in handy when the Inspector General pays a visit while everyone else is out. The twins want to help. Will their knack for baking the best-ever brownies and their knowledge of capacity be enough to save the day?

“"Man!" said Matt. "Baking is hard work! I'm thirsty." "How about a cold drink?" asked Bibi, opening a refrigerator that was full of drinks from around the world. She handed Matt a short, round bottle and chose a tall, slender one for herself. "Hey! No fair!" he protested. "You get more than I do!" Bibi looked at both labels. "No," she said. "They each contain one pint." "How much is that?" asked Matt, gulping thirstily.”
